I love Aldi! Back before Christmas I found canned, pitted cherries at Aldi much cheaper than you can find them at bigger stores.
I saw a beautiful heart covered cherry pie on Pinterest and thought I could reproduce.
The pie recipe can be found in any staple cookbook. Better Homes and Garden's, for example. I used 1 1/3 c sugar, 1/3 c flour, 2 cans drained pitted cherries and 1/4 tsp almond extract.
I used refrigerated all ready made pie crusts. I didn't know what to do with the edges on the bottom crust and ended up forking the edges. For the top crust I cut out little hearts and arranged over the top.
It baked a little longer than necessary, but I think it's still very pretty and it tasted SO good!
There's still time to make one for your sweetheart this Valentine's Day!

Sounds and looks delicious. I buy those cherries at Aldi also. In fact I bought two cans of the sweet and two cans of the dark tart yesterday. I need to try this. Love the idea to cut the heart shapes. You could still do that with homemade pie crusts too.
